Maybe I should contact Las Vegas Tourism about making the new slogan for Sin City #CantStayAway! Because quite frankly I can not. I just got back last Monday from a whirlwind excursion to Vegas for the night but am just now catching up by telling my tale. I always get busy at the beginning of the year and this one is no exception. I booked a one night stay at Aria Resort & Casino and grabbed up tickets to Michael Jackson ONE before getting on the road for a 24-hour heyday of escapism, inspiration and a needed round of shopping for upcoming gigs. Here’s the Tea… I got a cute hotel rate on LMTclub (that’s a dot com, go to RetailMeNot and grab a free ...

CultureComments Off on It Turns Out Batman and Superman Both Oppose Trump’s Refugee Ban

It Turns Out Batman and Superman Both Oppose Trump’s Refugee Ban Now more than ever, the world needs a superhero or two. Unfortunately for us, Batman and Superman—two characters of the DC Universe originally created in the 1930s—are far from real. Still, for decades they have stood for all that is right in the world: truth (secret identities notwithstanding), fairness and good old-fashioned justice (violence occasionally required). In case you were wondering how two of the world’s most famous heroes feel about Donald Trump’s recent Muslim refugee/immigrant ban, our friends at Comic Book Resources uncovered the answer! It was 1949, following WWII, when DC Comics placed the below PSA in its comic books. As any history buff could tell you, that was a ...

This is the third part of what has become a trilogy of interviews with reality star, fitness model recently awarded for his disciplined physique, and all around down to earth caring gentle man Scott Cullens who I’m glad I can say I know well. He has always been a major supporter of Team Steven and we always find something to ki-ki or giggle about via text when the moment moves us. I see him daily at the gym putting himself through the rigors of someone dedicated to not only looking good and staying healthy but appreciating every moment he humbly receives. He spoke to us twice before, here in 2013 and in ’14, as well. I love his honesty and believe he truly enjoys stopping his ...

Gay Men Were Attacked in Columbus and Nashville In two unrelated incidents, gay men were attacked unprovoked in Columbus and Nashville. Nashville The Tennessean reports: Francisco Montes, 24, had been out dancing with his roommate at both Play and Canvas Lounge when he decided it was time to go home, he said. “I didn’t see them,” Montes said. “I didn’t even know where they were coming from until they shouted, ‘Faggot!’ behind me. Then they just attacked me.” He said when he turned around, all he saw was a fist. He fell to the ground and eventually blacked out.

As many of you know, I hate Julian Assange.Yesterday, Chelsea Manning's sentence was reduced by President Obama. Before that happened, Assange offer to be extradited to the United States if Manning were pardoned. Well, like the snake he is, Assange backs out.The lawyer for Julian Assange said President Obama’s commutation of Chelsea Manning’s sentence does not meet the conditions of the WikiLeaks head’s offer to be extradited to the United States if Manning were pardoned. Obama on Tuesday commuted Manning’s sentence for leaking diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks, leading many to wonder whether that meant Assange was ready to surrender to the Department of Justice.“Mr. Assange welcomes the announcement that Ms. Manning’s sentence will be reduced and she will be released in May, but this ...

A Gay Man Was Beaten and Threatened with Rape by His Own Family This story out of India is yet another sickening tale of homophobia from within one’s own family. A gay man was beaten and threatened with “corrective rape” after his family found out he is gay. Corrective rape is a horrific hate crime used to try and make someone straight. How disgusting is that? RT reports: According to the India Times, the young man known as ‘Sanjoy’ was subjected to a string of physical and emotional abuse from his family in the city of Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, in West Bengal. After his parents found out that Sanjoy, in his early 20s, is gay and living with his partner, they hired local ...

‘I Think Trump Is Very Good on Gay Rights’ and 4 Other Crazy Things Peter Thiel Just Said Today, The New York Times ran an unchallenging interview with Peter Thiel—the gay billionaire and PayPal co-founder who supported Trump while bankrupting Gawker. The interview made sure to mention that Thiel was “wearing a gray Zegna suit and sipping white wine in a red leather booth … over a four-hour dinner of duck and chocolate dessert”—barf. When we say that it was “unchallenging,” that isn’t merely shade. Take this bullshit exchange: When I ask him if he can explain to Mr. Trump that climate change is not a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese, he offers a Chinese box of an answer: “Does ...

Batman Comic Debuts Awesome Trans Character Bleeding Cool News noticed something about Dr. Victoria October, a new character introduced into the Batman universe in Detective Comics #948: she’s trans. The character appears to be a scientist who specializes in the study of creepy monsters. Probably a good career in the DC Comics universe. She doesn’t use the word “trans”, but from the dialog, it’s super obvious. She refers to her “pupal stage” (what a caterpillar goes through before becoming a butterfly) and mentions her “deadname” (pre-transition name). [Batman and I] go way back… That was my pupal stage, before I came into myself. I did appreciate the card. My deadname didn’t have half the panache, I’m afraid. With that, Dr. October joins the ...

Drag Race’s Thorgy Thor Plays Violin in Amazon’s ‘Mozart in the Jungle’ We just found out that Thorgy Thor—the underdog of RuPaul’s Drag Race season eight—makes a surprise appearance on the most recent season of Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle. He plays a violin-playing drag queen which makes sense seeing as Thor is a real-life violin-playing drag queen. If you’re not watching Mozart, it’s a charming ensemble comedy about players in the New York Orchestra; it’s loosely based on the 2005 memoir of Blair Tindall, an oboist who played with the New York Philharmonic. The series includes openly gay actor Sandro Isaack and a plot line about a bisexual affair between women. Anyway, in a 2016 interview, Thor ...

4 Reasons the U.S. Government is Dropping AIDS.gov In Spring 2017, AIDS.gov, the federal government’s HIV and AIDS information site, will change its URL to HIV.gov. And though the change may seem minor, it reflects a progressive shift away from 20th century attitudes about HIV, attitudes which also prevent healthcare providers from ending the epidemic. Using AIDS and HIV interchangeably is inaccurate … The ’80s and ’90s press helped popularize the term GRID (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency) and then AIDS (Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome) before scientists discovered the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. “When the virus was discovered. HIV became a more precise way to refer to a virus as opposed to an arbitrary syndrome,” wrote...
